Mike,

Agree the problem.
We need support only RUNTIME attribute.
We need support only cache attributes.
We need support only page attributes.
We need support RUNTIME + cache + page attributes.
Do we need support the 0 Attributes case to clear page attributes?
There was discussion about the 0 Attributes case at 
https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/2018-March/023315.html.
It came to the question that should the 0 Attributes case be handled by 
SetMemoryAttributes() to clear the page attributes?


Thanks,
Star

Subject: RE: [PATCH 1/1] MdeModulePkg/Gcd: Fix bug of attribute conversion

Star,

This commit breaks Vlv2TbltDevicePkg.

On this platform, there are 2 calls to 
gDS->SetMemorySpaceAttributes() for an MMIO
range to set only the EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME bit.

With this commit, ConverToCpuArchAttributes()returns 0, and 0 is passed to 
gCpu->SetMemoryAttributes()that returns EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER on 
Vlv2TbltDevicePkg.

Before this commit, ConverToCpuArchAttributes() returns 
INVALID_CPU_ARCH_ATTRIBUTES which causes the call to 
gCpu->SetMemoryAttributes()to be skipped so no error is generated.

I think the right fix is to skip the call to 
gCpu->SetMemoryAttributes() if CpuArchAttributes
is 0 so a call that only sets the RUNTIME attribute can be supported along with 
call the set both the RUNTIME bit and other cache related bits.

I will send a patch soon with the proposed fix.

Mike
